We all need time off work to rest and relax. However, there is some admin involved when we do take time away from work. Let us show you how it works within the OmniPlatform.
Before we dive in, here are a few things to note about when/if you need to log time off in the OmniPlatform:
Please first check your “My Employment" for instructions on how you should be submitting leave. In some cases another process may be set by your legal employer (not using the OmniPlatform) in which case this article doesn’t apply.
The OmniPlatform is used to log time off but is not used to get approval for time off from your manager. In order to get time off approved, you may need to use an internal tool first. Please consult your "My Employment" document.
Local holidays (e.g. national holidays, bank holidays, etc.) are automatically accounted for by Omnipresent, and you do not need to log them in the OmniPlatform. On the other hand, regular annual leave, sick leave, and other types of leave should all be logged in the OmniPlatform.
Local holidays for timesheets: if you are completing timesheets, please do add public/local/bank holidays to your timesheets (not the regular 'Time Off' tab).
First, you should request leave on your company’s chosen time-off tracking tool. Then, once it’s been approved, you should also log it within the Omnipresent platform. This process should only take a few moments to complete:
Step 1: Log into the Omnipresent platform (OmniPlatform).
Step 2: In the left-hand side menu click on 'Employment', then select 'Time off'.
Step 3: Next, click the 'Add time off' button in the top-right of the screen.
Step 4: A form will pop up where you can fill in the details of your leave. Make sure all fields marked with an asterisk are filled in. It’s not mandatory to leave a description but it helps you remember when/why this leave was taken.
Step 5: Finally, click 'Submit' at the bottom of the form.
All upcoming leave will appear in the ‘Scheduled’ menu. As things can change and life happens, you can delete and re-add your leave as and when necessary.
Previously taken leave can be found in the ‘Taken’ tab:
If you need to modify time off that has been taken in the past, please reach out to help@omnipresent.com, and we'll be happy to assist you.
How to add a half-day:
Inform Omnipresent and your manager about taking the half day off and you can add one day off later on in the future when you decide to take the other remaining half. You can make a note about it when you add it.
How to add maternity/paternity leave:
You'll notice there is no option to log maternity/paternity leave on the OmniPlatform. Please reach out to the Support team to arrange leave. We'll make sure we have everything we need to ensure a smooth transition to and from your parental leave.
Extended sick leave:
You can add sick leave into the OmniPlatform. If you have a doctor's note, please upload this to the 'Documents' tab in your OmniPlatform account. Please feel free to reach out to the Support team if you need any help or have any questions at all.
